We are conducting a dissection of a newly found species of mammal that has a unique network of nerves running through its appendages. We have isolated one nerve fiber but cannot trace it back to its origin and are unsure of its function in this animal. A probe is inserted into the nerve and an electical impulse is introduced (we shock it) to see what functional consequence signalling by this nerve causes. We notice that stimulating the neuron causes a burst of activity in the brain of this animal that is responsible for detecting touch. Given this information, how would we classify this nerve? O Sensory afferent O Sensory efferent O Somatic efferent O Somatic afferent
